DISCOVERED TOO LATE.
It is a pleasaut summer afternoon.
Groups of citizens are standing together
in the market place of the old JJeJgian
town of Antwerp, and arouud a large
building which appears to possess lor
ihrm some txtriordinary attrac:ion. The
building is ihe town hall, and the cay is
the day of the tricl of Leopold Winster
atiU inaiiot uutzen, tor tue muiucr vi
Maria Countess Estevan, by poison.
It will go hard with the miscreants,
I warraut me," 8Vs a stout burgher, in
the centre of the group, by whom he
seems reckoned a ptrso'-8ge of vast im
portance ; "and right enough too 1 say.
tor we want no poisoning conjurar in
this fair city, neighbors."
You are in the right of jt, Master
Van Noorden." replied another wiseacre,
and"the mob, easily swayed, mur:: i
their assent. .
-I would I had the basting of that '
witch," shriliy exclaimed a stout, t
cheeked diim-, with a pair of large t a rings
saucily displayed. i4I -vould not lei
the roast lack Lasting, I know." ?r
A sally of laughter greeted this pretty
display of. woman's sjme, and a. loud
hear-y voice critd out:
'Ay, trust a woman to run a woman
down if she be in trouble. Iney say
wolves will eat a wounded comrade; but
for my own pan, 1 tnink me plle or
wild beasts is uotbing to the spite of wo-
mau ugumst woiuan.
'ihe dame who bad ppoken turned an
grily toward the last bold speaker, and
lie would mayhap have come o(F with a
scratched face but for a loud shout from
that part of the crowd nearest the hall, j
which sintiified that the trial W3S over.
The sentence ! the sentence ! ere
tbev
guilty 1" cried a thousand voices.
Yes, yes, guilty ?" '
"Afd the sentence ?"
The mau to be burnt alive; the wo
man to be confined for life."
Hurrah! hurrah!" And the air
rang with a cheer from the whole of the
ai multitude, which speedily turned to
a storm of hisses and groans as the un
fortunate condemned issued from the
door of the judgement -ball, strongly
guarded. -
The trial bad been short, but the evi
dence was supposed conclusive.
This is what had passed.
' The respected Doctor Fruchen had
testified that he had been called in sud
denly on the last day of July to attend a
lady who had been taken ill, and was ai
the house of the male prisoner. He had
enquired for a suitable nurse for her.
and was exceedingly struck by the redi
ness with whih thia female prisoner vol
unteered to fill that situation. He bad
stfnt in two crauohts, being simply ano
dynes, but quite harmless ; after taking
one of which the- unfortunate lady was
found dead. That she had taken the
dose there was no do ibt, as the almost
empty bottle was found with but a few
drops left in it, which when tested by
himself (Her Fruchen), were found to
contain aquafortis. The second bottle,
with its content3 untouched, was ailso
found to contain ihe same poison. Fron"
this it was inferred that, had the first
not taken effect, the murderers iutended
to administer a second dose. Perhaps,"
added the doctor, as there could be lit
tle doubt that the first draught would
prove fatal, the second imphl have been
intended for Don Estevan."
It was distinctly proved that the sole
inhabitants of the house, where the al
leged murder toook place, besides the
luckless couple,' were Leopold Wintzer
Ecd Chariot Lutzea; and the quantity cf
gold contained in the' vali?es of both the
unfortunate lady and gentleman supplied
ample motive for thwr 'murder by a man
so well know to be avaricious and miserly
as Winzr. " ' ' ' "
The latter was a singular, character,
but one common enough in the age in
which thase events happened. He was
half a scientific investigate and half an
impostor. He studied nature and im
posed upon man, fancying that his supe
rior knowledge cave him the riht to de
ceive his fellow-creatures. By those
who lived near him, or caiue into contact
with him, he was looked. upon with soxce
respect and a good deal more dread.-
He was known everywhere as a nec:orn
ancer as one wno deh with awful mys
lerieTfor awful purposes. H s maimer,

became an accomplice. The eri Jet . ?.
was deemed conclusive, and the .jojts
were united in condemning the prison
onnrs. Thus the old man was sentenced
lo be burned alive in the market place,
and his ashes to be sc? tiered with the
four .winds ; and ihe old woman, in con
sideration for her age and sex, besides
having been, it was supposed, to some
extent, made a tool of, was awarded the
mitigated punithment of imprisonment
for life. ".. .
Wtthln a week the horrible sentence
on the poor old maa. was carried cut in
all its awful detaili, he . to the last pro
tecting his innocence. Iudeed, from
the lime of the. murder until he was ac
tually tied to the stake, he spoke and
acted like one under the imlrence of a
dream. But the prpulace was under

brought out to death, behaved in a sav-

to tears. He died confessing that he had

friendly attendant was hbsy preparing

stole now and then a glance at the poor
soulless sufferer. At last Dame Chariot
broke the silence.
"Gretchen. was I ever here before ?"
Willing to sooth her, Gretchen replied
readily : 1
No, no, dame; why should you think
that? This is the house givtn ydu by
your gocd council, you know.'
'Council,- Council !" repeated Chariot,
vacantly.
Ay. dame ! but come, draw and drink
this hot cup of coffee, it wall cheer you
fioally. I warrant me." And worthy
Gretchen commenced cutting bread and
butter. They had nearly finished their
meal when a sudden noise caused boih
to look up, and Gretchen screamed aloud.
Not so the eldr woman she looked on
as if body and soul were about to part,
with all her facuhies (uch as they
were) fixed on an object ia an obscure
corner of the old kitchen.
It was a large black ipe, intently en
easred in pouring he contents of one phi
al iuto another. During this occupation
he grinned and gibbered with a devilish
satisfaciion, quite appalling.
A flood of light bursted ia on the
cloaded brain of the unfortunate Dame
Chariot. She sprang from her feel as if

In the hurry and tumult on the night
of Donna Estevan's death, nobody had
thought of the ape, who had for three
moriihs since that tragical evsnt helJ en
tire possession of the premises, living
how and where he could. This ape. was
one of the animals which Wintzar had in
his luile meuagerie, aud from his half
human propensities and his lameness,
been allowed to rove through the house
and garden at will.
It is well known that, monkeys will
most faiihfully and accurately imitate the
transactions of human beings. On the
night of the supposed murder, the black
ape -had been watching old Wintzer in
t! e 'Moratory until sleep overcame the

boitles precisely as j! j had placed them,
and uticcnsciously was the agent of de

was the first act of this tragedy.
"But. unfortunately, the second act of
the tragedy, in which poor old Wintzer
had played the chief part, could not be
recalled. The curtain had fallen on it
rforever.
Happily the third act. was never per-"
formed.
Gretchen speedily gave the alarm,
ar.d the house was soon full of sympati

phials which he held when the woman
first observed him was the identical one

For the second lime Antwerp was in

According to the Washington corres-
nnntfence or ine iew X orK rosi, tue
President's views regarding ihe removal
of Mr. Stanton are as follows:
Whoever shall take the place will re
ceive the appointment outright a3 Secre
tary of War, vice L. M. btantou - re
moved, for ii is ihe purpose of Mr John-
..I I
son to maae an uosuiuie removal ui
Stanton under the law as it existed prior
to the passage of the tenure of office bill,
which is to be held unconstitutional. In
tliis opinion Mr. Stamoa concurred
when the bill was passed, and himself
prepared part cf the veto message deny
ing the power of Congress to pass tut h
an act. ihe removal ct atauton having
been accomplished in the manner indi
cated, the President will.simply send his
message to the Senate nominating A. B.
to be Secretary of War. By this it is
expected, in case the nomination is rejec
ted, that possibly Mr. Stanton may be
re-insiaied but being out of office, he will
be compelled lo.ieek a legal remedy by
mandamus. or any other mode pointed
out ly law. This will bring the question
as lo ihe constitutionality of the I enure
of office Act before ihe Supreme Court
of the United States for adjudication,
and by its decision the right of Stanton
to hold ihe office will be decided. Uu
der the old law ihe Exrcutive had power
to suspend cf remove, and the suspension
of Stanton was adopted for the time- be
ing out of abundant caution, in order that
the act might also be -within the terras
of the Tenure of Office bill, but it was in
the first instance the purpose of the
President to make an absolute removal
of Stanton, sooner or later. .
.. An old gentleman recently presented
himself in Arkansas for registration,
with his two snns, and the eldest was
asked by the clerk if he could write.
"No, sir," chimed the old. man, "I am
happy to s3y my sons cant read or write J
When I wa a boy, my parents sent me
to school, and. after I had got a Ktile
start ia the world I endorsed a cote for
a man, and it cost me all my prop-rty. I
hen made up my mind that no-child of
mine should learn to write."
At Dayton, Ohio, seventy-five invalid
soldiers, Inmates of a Soldier's Heme,
were taken to ihe polls, and voied for
General Hayes to a man. They were
all crippled and helpless, but the Demo
cratic crowd wa3 cowardly enough to in
sult them with coarse epithets, while
some yelled : "Pity you hadn't lost both
your c! d arms! ' Sorry that other
leg was left !" "Pitty the rebels hadn'i
killed you." These are the men to whom
Conservative republicans have yielded
the partial control at least cf the great
S;ate of Ohio. St. Louis Dent.
- The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes :
General trade is working very slow.
The dry goods dealers manage to do a
fair business ; but only by making con
cessions in prices. The lending firms
within the day or two past have reduced
American prints about one cent per yard.
Other kinds cf domestic cottons are also
lower some tay as much as two to two
and a half cents a yard on brown goods.
In most descriptions of brown sheetings
the decline for the week has been fully
one cent per yard, and bleached sheetings
two to ihree cents. The stock cf shawls
is large, and the prices of these al-u
have a softening tendency. Merinos and
dress goods are a shade lower ; but all
other goods are unchangrd. The hard
ware dealers also report business as very
sluggish, with a tendency to lower pri
ces. Manufacturers are especially anx
ious to sell.. Boot and shoes are unchan
ged. The trade for the reason is draw
ing to a close. Carpets moderately, ac
tive, but prices for the most part are
steady.

A doctor in this vicinity was recently
calied to prescribe for a somewhat illii
erate eld lady, and as ccd liver oil in his
cpiniod, was the remedy for her com
plaint, he wrote a prescription for the
apothecary lo put up, with the formula,
'OleJec. JJss." the unintelligible terms
being an abreviation of "Oltun Jecoris
dsseJli" in plain English, cod liver oil.
The medicine was procured laken, and
in a few weeks the lady completely re
coveied her health. A neighbor paid
her a visit after her recovery, and, ex
pressing surprise at her improved condi
tion, inqujied the secret of so rapid re
storation. Why,' saiJ the eld lady,
lifting her hands ia grateful enthusiasm,
Ii was that beautiful medicine, ihe Oil
of Jackass, that, brought me to my feet
again ! The enquirer called on ihe doc
tor soon afier, wiih a request for seme
of the same remedy, and when the phy
sician became awaie of the novel ren
dering of his classics, rhe guffaw which
ensued can be belter imagined than de
scribed. Boys ought not lo b permitted to trav
el ia ihe season. They are loo sharp.
The American boy is a dangerous wea
pon, with edge to him and no handle to
get hold of hue by. At ihe Fort Wil
liam Henry Honse we saw a lover and
lady tormented with the company of ihe
lady's younger brother.
"'Tis a swpei lake!" sighed the lady.
"I wish I miht have an island ia it, and
schtude."
"Without me ?" said the lever, plaint
ively. You are solitude to me !" she said;
ycu put the rest of the world far off"

The following is told by the Diyua
Journal. A few months ago a gentle

gentee! carriage. A "likely colored

"Chores." but latterly he seemed oat o
spirits, and seldom smiled. His employer
observed this despondent demeanor cf
"Chores," and he determined to get at
the bottom cf it. Perhaps he was ia
love! Bat uo matter. Taking "Chores"
aside one day when he looked mora
gloomy lhaa usual, he inquired, consid
erately, what it was that ailed him.
"Well.you seeIars'r," begau"Chorei,"
in short of tragic style, "you's got bai
one hess, while all ihe gentlemen 'bout
hea has two; an' all de boys da. call me
a one-horse nigger; an' as I cant staa

of so valuable aa assistant, a second
horse was purchased, and "Chores" ts-
